Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Mutations in the voltage-sensitive sodium channel are an important mechanism of resistance to pyrethroid insecticides. In Musca domestica, common resistance alleles are kdr, super-kdr and kdr-his. The levels of resistance that these alleles confer is known, but the fitness of these alleles relative to each other and to susceptible alleles is unknown. We used crosses from congenic strains of...
